For anyone wondering, this was supposed to be the release where Apple could scan your photos for child abuse. This was delayed for this release: https://www.techradar.com/news/apple-delays-child-abuse-phot...

I wonder if upgrading to iOS 15 will increase the chance of receiving this spyware when they do roll it out?

I mean 15.X - 15.Y will likely occur automatically while the phone is connected to WiFi and charging.. but 14 to 15 should require user approval, meaning we should be safe as long as we never upgrade >14..?

The RC had a lot of bugs and was unusable for some users on r/iOSBeta. The actual release is indeed two builds newer (19A346) so hopefully they've fixed these issues. Edit: looks like it's only available for people seeking it out[0]. Maybe they won't auto-update till 15.0.1? 0: https://i.judge.sh/troubled/Flam/YOWIKKHUYu.png

I was running the betas for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS since they were released. The iOS and iPadOS betas were buggy, but I expected some problems.

Looks like it was available via beta.icloud.com (With an iCloud+ subscription):

Can anyone speak for iPhone 6S performance with 15? I'm on 14 currently and it runs quite smoothly. I assume it would be similar on 15.

I've been running the developer beta on the 6S since the beginning. Seems just fine to me!

Is apple’s photo search any less terrible now? Dunno if anyone else suffers this? Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Finding a years-old photo to upload is TERRIBLE. It's trivial to do in Google Photos, but then getting a handle on the photo when using the "photo selector" widget to upload it to Twitter or an existing email is horrible. I do this workflow dozens of times per week and the best I can come up with is: 1. text se…

Yup, been there done that. Google photos search is miles ahead, and the main reason I use the app (aside of obviously the cloud backup)

Is it me or most of the features could be a simple app update?

Most of these apps (Facetime, iMessage, Safari, Maps, Wallet, Photos) aren't built using their public SDK but rather have deep dependencies on the OS itself.

Humm. gotcha. thank you

The feature the impressed me the most during the WWDC presentation - the cross-device drag and drop functionality between Mac and iPad - unfortunately won't be included in the initial 15.0 release.

FindMy for AirPods also delayed

Was there a new feature? My AirPods have been on FindMy for a long time already.

Can you give an example of the type of search where Apple photos fails but Google photos succeeds? I only use Apple photos, but it supports my use case of date/location/"object detection" search, but wondering if I'm missing out on something much better.

The notification upgrades look promising! I always thought iOS was way behind Android in terms of customizing notification modes, and how each app behaves in each mode.

I honestly doubt it. They will likely roll this out to both latest versions. I think they said as much.
